Emphasis should shift to research, a key area of university education. It is from this situation that satellite colleges emerged, leading to great compromise in quality. From disbanding a few boards to closing some satellite colleges, the focus now must be on increased funding for our universities. From just one university in 1963 that had an enrolment of barely 1,000 students, Kenya today boasts 33 universities with a combined enrolment of slightly over 270,000 students. Universities must give society new knowledge and techniques that are relevant in today’s world.
